Fork fern
Fork fern is a vascular epiphyte found clinging to tree ferns and boulders in damp, shaded forests. It sports slender, forked stems with small, scale-like leaves. This ancient fern ally reproduces via spores housed in peculiar, club-shaped sporangia, which are integral for its reproduction. Its elegant, trailing growth habit allows fork fern to gather moisture and nutrients from the humid air, adapting well to its arboreal niche.
